I think it looks alright and as long as it's not 4 hours long it can't be any worse than the last one... can it? Please tell me it can't be worse than the last one. 

The TF movies seem to alternate between serviceable and horrible.

 

The first was decent, ROTF was terrible, Dark of the Moon was the best so far (faint praise, admittedly), and Age of Extinction was very bad. So if the pattern holds, The Last Knight might be ok?

True enough. The trailer looks okay even if I have no idea wtf is going on in most of it.

It was crowded, but for someone like me who doesnt follow transformers all that much, I enjoyed all of the other movies. I dont care who says they were terrible, they can have their opinion, but I did enjoy them. This one looks to be good IMO as well, the trailer is pretty cool.

So I saw it last night. I give it a 2 out of 5

 

as much as Bay was talking the script up I was hoping it was going to be really good. It was bad. The editing was all over the place, and a few Bay camera angles go a long way and the movie was made up of most of them. It also had soooooo many stupid one liners, the Black guy was the worst. It also felt like they could have chopped 30 mins out of it. It can in at a running time of 2 hours  29 mins. Please Bay, for real this time stop making Transformers movies. The only one that was ever any good was the first one.

I love that absolutely no one seems to notice that they completely ignored the previous movie.  Megatron was turned into Galvatron (truck form) and was able to digitize himself into whatever he wanted.  This movie has him back to Megatron and he has no known ability to digitally transform in any way that was shown in the last movie. 

 

Spoiler

And of course, they completely butchered Unicron.  How the hell are they going to actually show Unicron if they make it Earth?  As soon as he transforms we as a species are screwed.  Overall, they just need to stop making movies.

viewers need to stop picking apart movies so much, who cares if they don't match what's in a comic or book.

 

as long as they are entertaining with decent acting / soundtrack that's watchable imo.

You have to remember that for some, who grew up on a certain franchise feel let down or even betrayed by it, if the franchise deviates dramatically from the 'official' lore.

 

I'm one of those, I grew up on many of these cartoons, show, etc. And many of the generational friends who also remembered the franchises feel the same way.

The problem is people want them to be how they are in the original series or film as that is how they look and feel it should be.

 

I mean the only real Transformers movie was the animated one that came out in the 80's that stayed true to the idea of what the transformers are and not exploding lenses flair to be seen.

Spoiler

I mean how can unicron be planet earth and all this bloody knights templer rubbish that keeps being added to the films currently what is with that crap?

In the current and previous Transformers cartoons Unicron is the planet earth, so I am guess thats where they got the idea from. Still does not work if it is not executed correctly

I did not know that as I have not read any of the comics for a long while and was not aware that had changed. How does unicron end up being planet earth, it just does not make any sense at all. Can you point me at the correct comics so I can catch up on this?

 

But my point still stands that the best film was the Transformers:The Movie(cartoon).

Just watched it and it was fine for a 'switch your brain off and enjoy the action' film. 

 

There were so many continuity errors though it was pitiful, almost wanted to make this Transformers 1.1 and forget those in the middle. Something that did bug me however was the WW2 sub. It is based in Gosport here - https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/50°47'18.5"N+1°07'11.0"W/@50.788466,-1.1205103,282m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d50.7884661!4d-1.1197184, about 70miles from London. Then the shot from the museus, to Themes then Dover..... Bugged me, probably more than it should have done.

    • JBL BAR 800 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar is an amazing deal today by Sayan Sen This Amazon Prime Day 2026 sales so far we have had a couple of nice deals related to sound and audio. First we have the Sennheiser HD 600 at its lowest ever price of just $225. Next we also have the Beats Studio Pro at its lowest price ever at just $150. However perhaps you prefer your gear to sound great on a larger scale, like throughout the room. In that case an all-in-one soundbar system can help and currently JBL's BAR 800 is a great deal for sure as it's up for grabs at just $600 (purchase link under the specs table down below). One thing that should be appreciated a lot about these JBL soundbars is their spec sheet and the frequency response data it provides. The firm is honest about it as JBL confirms the subwoofer is able to go down to 35 Hz at -6dB or F6. This means it should be covering 40Hz and up very well, where most of the bass lies. You miss out on a lot of sub-bass but that is to be expected given the price point and the subwoofer driver size. Speaking of which, it is a 10-inch driver and promises a max output power of 300 watts at 1% THD (total harmonic distortion). JBL also claims the system will provide you with a "True Dolby Atmos" experience. The surround speakers are wireless and battery-powered which means setting them up should be really convenient. The technical specs of the JBL BAR 800 are given in the table below: Specification Value Channel Configuration 5.1.2-channel soundbar system Dolby Atmos Yes, with 2 up-firing drivers Total System Power Output 720 W Soundbar Power Output 340 W Surround Speaker Power Output 2 × 40 W Subwoofer Power Output 300 W Soundbar Drivers 3 × 46×90 mm racetrack drivers, 3 × 20 mm tweeters, 2 × 70 mm up-firing full-range drivers Surround Speaker Drivers 1 × 46×90 mm racetrack driver (each speaker) Subwoofer Driver 10-inch (260 mm) wireless subwoofer Frequency Response 35 Hz – 20 kHz (-6 dB) Audio Inputs Optical, Bluetooth, Chromecast built-in, AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music (MRM), USB* HDMI Inputs 1 HDMI video input HDMI Output 1 HDMI eARC output HDCP Version 2.3 HDR Pass-Through HDR10, Dolby Vision Bluetooth Version 5.0 Wi-Fi Version 6, 6E Streaming Services Chromecast built-in, Apple AirPlay, Alexa MRM Get it at the link below: JBL Bar 800-5.1.2-Channel Dolby Atmos soundbar with Detachable Surround Speakers (Black): $599.85 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days.

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.
